I really like everything I have read, but for my part I think I would approach it as an extreme PVE mode where the NPCs have the power and strength to be able to do all that damage to the buildings.

Good concept, terrible name. Warzone is completely associated with Call of Dooty now, so we’d be better off with something else. Infinite Firefight? Infinite Battlezone?

I agree. that is where NPC vehicles, and heavy infantry like hunters come in. if you don’t deal with them they can take your team down to the HQ.
though it still requires players to take that out.

Could always call it something like “Front line?”
EDIT; wish I could reply to two posts with out having to make multiple replies.
Going to reply hopefully to bump this thread. I would love to see a PVPVE mode return in Infinite, like it’s own rendition of Warzone. Even a return of Warzone Firefight would be fun assuming there’s a good variety of enemies to take down. The idea of the firebase is pretty unique too and could be a very fun mode.

Apart of me believes that Forge is going to be so great that in theory the game mode can be replicated through forging. Everything from scripting timed walls and buildings, areas to load and deload to navpoints for AI and if included in Forge the AI bosses faced in Campaign.

One can hope, I mean Bungie teased forge NPCs back in halo 3 but they never became a thing.
i do miss warzone from halo 5 but BTB is enough for me, i do hope for Firefight with bots tho.

BTB with bots could be fun as well.
not spartan bots. maybe a mode call attack defend or some better name where you have AI grunts (literally ungoy) spawning from both teams bases adding a new layer of strategy as they follow nearby spartans allowing for a good amount of firepower to support.
You can! You just have to highlight text from each post and click the quote option to include quotes from their post in your reply. Having quotes from multiple posts counts as a reply to each of them.
And now I feel like a complete idiot, thank you.
You’re welcome! It’s not made obvious if you don’t happen to try highlighting the text in someone’s post.
I would definitely be down for a rerelease of warzone. Given that halo infinite is going to be a 10 year launch platform there’s a good chance we see it down the road if public support stays up.
Wonder if I should expand on the idea by giving barracks infantry summons… hmm yeah might as well.

I actually really like this!
The more I play BTB the more I Want a mode like this.
